Tone Mirror

About

In remote work, we often don't realize our emails sound curt or angry until it's too late. Without face-to-face interaction, tone can be easily misinterpreted, leading to:

Unintended conflicts with colleagues
Damaged professional relationships
Stressful work environments
Time wasted clarifying miscommunications

Tone Mirror analyzes your email drafts in real-time and displays a simple visual indicator in the corner of your compose window:

😊 Green = Friendly: Your message has a warm, positive tone
😐 Yellow = Neutral: Your message is professional and balanced
😠 Red = Hostile/Aggressive: Your message may come across as angry or passive-aggressive

Features
Real-time Analysis: Analyzes tone as you type
Non-intrusive: Small, unobtrusive indicator in the corner
Multi-platform Support: Works with Gmail and Outlook
Privacy-focused: All analysis happens locally in your browser
No data collection: Your emails are never sent to external servers

How It Works
The extension uses advanced pattern matching to analyze various aspects of your email:

Detects common workplace passive-aggressive language:

"Per my last email" - Implies recipient didn't read previous message
"For future reference" - Condescending instruction
"Just a gentle reminder" - Impatient follow-up
"Thanks in advance" - Presumed compliance
"Looping in [manager]" - Power move/escalation
"I was confused..." - Feigned confusion to criticize
"Great start" - Backhanded compliment
And 10+ more patterns
Word Choice: Detects potentially hostile or friendly language

Punctuation: Identifies excessive exclamation marks or ALL CAPS

Sentence Structure: Analyzes message brevity and abruptness

Overall Tone: Combines multiple factors with weighted scoring for accurate assessment
